Background
E. Annie Proulx&#8217;s short story &#34;Brokeback Mountain&#34; was originally published in the October 13, 1997, issue of The New Yorker. A prologue was added to the tale when it was included in Proulx&#8217;s collection of short stories, Close Range: Wyoming Stories. Proulx won a Pulitzer for her 1994 novel, The Shipping News.

&#34;&#8217;Brokeback Mountain&#8217; was/is one of a number of stories examining rural Western social situations. I was trained as an historian (French Annales school), and most of my writing is focused on rural North American hinterlands.

Annie Proulx, interviewed by Matthew Testa for Planet Jackson Hole.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN Review: Part I
Much of the publicity surrounding Brokeback Mountain has focused on presenting Ledger and Gyllenhaal as hetero off-screen studs playing homo on-screen studs, as if &#34;acting gay&#34; &#8212; a couple of rough kissing scenes and a simulated sex act &#8212; is per se both a display of thespian courage and an example of great screen acting. Whatever those actors&#8217; sexual orientation may be, perhaps it&#8217;s true that they have been brave to tackle those roles.
